Chinese Money in Global Context

This study offers an interpretation of the Chinese monetary system, charting its evolution by examining key moments in history - from BCE 600 up to the present. It places these moments in international perspective by comparing primary sources in multiple languages and across three millennia. The book begins exploring the trajectory of Chinese currency at the birth of coinage around the world and ends with the implications of the current global financial crisis for China and the rest of the world.
